A pie chart comparing the seismic moment release of the three largest earthquakes for the hundred-year period from 1906 to 2005 with that for all earthquakes of magnitudes <6, 6 to 7, 7 to 8, and >8 for the same period. The 2011 Japan quake would be roughly similar to Sumatra. Earthquakes of magnitude 8.0 and greater from 1900 to 2018.
1979 Imperial Valley earthquake – magnitude 6.4 earthquake with an epicenter less than 1 km inside Mexico – significant damage and injuries on both sides of the border (60 in the US) 2010 Baja California earthquake (Mexico near S California) – magnitude 7.2 earthquake, 4 fatalities and 100 injuries, none in the United States
Historical earthquakes is a list of significant earthquakes known to have occurred prior to the early 20th century. As the events listed here occurred before routine instrumental recordings — later followed by discoveries of Earth's tectonic plates, [1] seismotomography imaging technique, [2] observations using space satellites from outer space, [3] artificial intelligence (AI)-based ...
This is a list of earthquakes in 2024. Only earthquakes of magnitude 6 or above are included, unless they result in significant damage and/or casualties. All dates are listed according to UTC time. The maximum intensities are based on the Modified Mercalli intensity scale. Earthquake magnitudes are based on data from the USGS.
The list incorporates high-quality earthquake source (i.e., origin time, location and earthquake magnitude) and fatality information from several sources. Earthquake locations are taken from the Centennial Catalog [1] and the updated Engdahl, van der Hilst and Buland earthquake catalog, [2] which is complete to December
The 2010 Haiti earthquake was the most destructive compared to its magnitude, due to poorly constructed buildings and the earthquake's proximity to the capital Port-au-Prince. The 2011 Christchurch earthquake was a shallow event and very close to the city, resulting in extensive damage to population centers.
